Well we never got there now did we? See in the real world there is an understanding about how deals are made and followed. Now I completely understand your position and the fact that you have convinced yourself that it was the right way to do things. Its a waste of time to attempt to convince you otherwise. The fact of the matter is we never got to that vote because the east MEC squawked while certain members of that very same east MEC helped give rise to usapa. The whole thing was completely underhanded but it certainly served its purpose now didn't it? The move made it possible so that we have exactly what we have now and that is complete and utter chaos. It is what it is and without a doubt in my mind the effects will last a lifetime.
